Narrative
The 'Bettersnap' plant habit is a high bush, with few pods touching the ground. Pod set is concentrated, and the pods are borne scattered above the foliage. Mature pods are pendant from the peduncles, and each peduncle typically produces two pods. A typical pod is slightly curved, 27 cm long, and contains 16 peas. Pod color is dark green at the harvestable snap stage, yellow at green-shell maturity, and light straw when dry. The fresh peas have a cream color and a kidney shape. Dried peas are tan and have a smooth seed coat. Seed size is medium (21.0 g/100 fresh peas; 12.4 g/100 dry peas). The cultivar is homozygous for the Rk gene that conditions a high level of resistance to root-knot nematodes. 'Bettersnap' is resistant to blackeye cowpea mosaic and southern bean mosaic viruses. Observations of natural epiphytotics indicate that the cultivar is also resistant to scab (Cladosporium vignae Gardner) and cercospora leaf spot (Cercospora cruenta Sacc.). 'Bettersnap', like its recurrent parent 'Snapea', is susceptible to fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. f. tracheiphilum (E. F. Sm.) Synd. and Hans.).

Description:
'Bettersnap' is the result of a conventional, recurrent, backcross breeding procedure to transfer the dominant Rk gene for resistance to root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) from 'Mississippi Silver' into the snap-type cultivar Snapea. 'Bettersnap' originated from a bulked F4 population derived from the fifth backcross
